ADSelfService Plus two-factor authentication

ADSelfService Plus is an integrated Active Directory tool that can help you drastically reduce password related help-desk calls with its self-service password management and single sign-on features. It is used for password expiration notifications, password policy enforcement, and much more.

The user-friendly interface helps domain users efficiently self-update personal details, self-service passwords on premises or remotely, and subscribe to mail groups in Microsoft Windows Active Directory. However, access to these self-service features needs to be highly secure, because unauthorized access could lead to sensitive data being exposed. ADSelfService Plus has your users' access covered with two levels of authentication during login.

How it works

Two-factor authentication provides added security to end users who log on to ADSelfService Plus. Each time users log on, they need to enter the domain credentials, which is followed by a verification process. The secondary authentication happens via codes sent through SMS or email, Duo Security, or RSA SecurID. This ensures that there is no threat to user information, even if someone manages to discover their password.

SMS and email-based verification codes

When enabled, the SMS and email-based verification method sends a code to the user'sphone or email address. The user must enter the uniquely generated code in order to successfully log in each time.

Duo Security authentication

Duo Security is a two-factor authentication service. If you have Duo Security enabled, your identity is verified through a verification code, by call or push notification, from the Duo mobile app.

RSA SecurID

RSA SecurID is an authentication service in which a one-time passcode is generated in either the RSA mobile app, hardware token, or RSA authentication manager. Users can deploy the unique passcode to prove their identity and securely log in to ADSelfService Plus.

RADIUS Authentication

With RADIUS Authentication, users can verify their identity using their RADIUS password which will in turn facilitate a smooth and secure access to their ADSelfService Plus portal.

An extra layer of protection for user login

With two-factor authentication, even if a hacker steals a user's password, the hacker would still need access to the user’s mobile or email.

Additionally, the SMS and email-based verification and the authentication requests available in Duo Security and RSA SecurID are unique to each user. They can be used only once, and will expire if they are not used within a certain period of time.

With the extra layer of security provided by two-factor authentication, businesses can now equip end users with various self-service options available in ADSelfService Plus. These authentication options reduce help desk workload and any worries about security.
